6. Rick Scott is going make sure West gets his way

U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, also issued a statement linking Republican Gov. Rick Scott to West’s cause.

“In a clear effort to overturn an election result after having lost at the ballot box, Allen West has now run to Governor Rick Scott to needlessly interfere with and politicize a non-partisan election process… . Having Governor Scott intervene is outrageous and inappropriate. After disenfranchising Florida voters by cutting down early voting days and creating extraordinarily long lines at the polls, Governor Scott is now trying to blatantly overturn an election result he disagreed with and undermine Gertrude Walker, a three-decade veteran of the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections office.”
